Make Your Eye Muscles Relaxed - By: RandaFritch

Eye muscles being relaxed and elastic is considered as a secret of good eyesight. When we grow old, all the body muscles become to lose its elasticity and vigor. That is why our eyesight will be poor when we grow old. There are a lot of bad habits leading to bad vision. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid the bad results of poor vision. The key method is to relax your eye muscles.

If you can not see the word in distance, you must try your best to see clearly, but you have put your eyes at risk. You are straining your eye muscles. So please go near to see and try not to be frustrated with it if you are not able to see clearly.

Direct and excessive exposure of eyes to cold wind and bright light are another causes of poor eyesight, especially after continuous long time work. So please do not stare at computer or television too long. You are suggested to have a break every half an hour and do eye exercise.

Squinting should be avoided for good eyesight too, as squinting too often will put your eye muscles in strain. The best condition that eyes see an object is that they see without any muscular effort. However, squinting just breaks the balance. So try not to squint in dim light and massage your eyebrows once a while.

The wrong posture while reading should also be responsible for fatigued eyesight. For if you are used to slump, lean or read too close, your eyeballs will be much strained as a result of gravity. The best way to read is to put the book paralleled to your eyes about 20 inches away and sit straight. If you get used to reading too close to the book, you are gradually forming myopia.

Except for posture, you should also care more when reading. For example, after reading half an hour, you are recommended to take a rest and do eye exercises or your eyes will feel tired, and thus strongly strained. Furthermore, when reading, it is better to look at the white spaces in between the lines but not the lines themselves and not the individual letters. Because this method is just sweeping your eyes over the white background and use your eyes effortlessly.

There are a variety of eye exercises which can relax eye muscles.
1. Look as far as you can and meanwhile breathe deeply; rub the face and forehead while bending over, then do the massage around the eyes gently.
2. Stand up straight, simultaneously, do the exhaling and inhaling repeatedly. Lean your head to each side and do the inhaling and exhaling again to relax the gaze.
3. Close your eyes, massage your eye sockets with your palms softly.

In one word, good eyesight is mainly due to relaxed eye muscles. So focus on eye relaxing when you do anything.
